Play Basketball Like a Laker

Thursday July 9, 2009

Sometimes being a fan just isn't enough, even when your team kicked butt in the NBA Finals. If you think you've got the right stuff to sink them like the best of them, consider registering to play in the Inaugural Lakers 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament which takes place on August 14-16 on multiple city blocks around LA (at about 70 outdoor basketball courts).

Lakers 3 on 3 is open to the general public and free for all fans. The event is set to feature a slam dunk contest, other basketball themed activities and competitions, food and drink, live music, and of course the best part: appearances by members of your favorite winning team, The Lakers.

You've got until July 31 to register your team through the event's website. Do it for Kobe!
